This week is all about rest. Don’t get me wrong – rest is easy, but it also makes me nervous about the upcoming 208 mile relay race that I will run with 5 others. When I am actively training, I reassure myself that I CAN do it. While resting, I have to hope that I can. The things that scare me the most are injuries & running too slow. The team element is a bit different too. My times do not reflect solely on me, they reflect in the team’s time as a whole. I am counting on them and they are counting on me. Kind of fun in a way, but also brings with it more pressure. Let me hear some words of encouragement and wish us luck as we prepare to torture ourselves for 30+ hours this weekend!

Encouragement!
Im really looking forward to hearing the stories about the runs youll make. Youve been working hard to get to point where you can race a challenging race like this, enjoy this event to the fullest!!
Who knows you might even find a new “special place”
Breanna, Karen and I will be thinking of you goofballs as you run this weekend… just think of all of the bacon and Firehouse you can have when you come back. Afterall… it is times when the work is the hardest that the food tastes the best.
Good Luck Kevin!!
I am sure I will find a new special place or two! I will be sure to share pictures and stories with you all after. I will have to have some bacon first though!
Thanks!
If you need inspiration, just imagine some crazy mountain folk are coming out of the woods to chase you …
And if that doesn’t work, imagine the Kevin from last summer’s beach trip is waiting for you at the finish line if you don’t run fast enough
And if THAT doesn’t work, think about all the beer you get to have at the after party. The faster you run, the sooner you party!
Because it really is all about the beer
